Huge corporate and wealthy
individual campaign contributors give immense sums of money to
politicians running for the presidency and Congress. They do so not out
of the goodness of their hearts, but to protect their own financial
interests. For all practical purposes, they own the government.
The proposed new third party would ban all political contributions over
$ 100 and ban television and radio ads, which are usually misleading and
negative. Candidates would be given free and equal time on television
and radio to speak to the voters and to engage in debates on the issues
. Campaigns would be shortened, voter registration improved and voter
participation increased.
The president would be limited to one six-year term and Congress members
would be limited to twelve years service. |
